Reno Stehlik holds a honorary check after being named Austin High School Artist of the Year Wednesday.
Austin High School has its 2013 Artist of the Year.
Reno Stehlik was this year’s winner, one of four students that included Darrion Hunt, Taylor Miland and Nicole Lipari. Stehlik not only got the title, but earned a $500 scholarship.
“I”m happy I won it,” Stehlik said afterward. “It was amazing and probably the best thing to happen all year.”
At an assembly that many in the school look forward to each year, these four students were just an example of the artistic talent among the student body.
“It was great to see all the candidates come together and support each other through art,” said Jake Levison, co-organizer of the event. “They support each other and do their best.”
“This was a great group of artists this year,” he added.
